Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at it with numbers!

a=-2 , b=4

a*2b is -2*2(4)  ---> -2*8 ---> -16

If you multiple a negative and a negative it will be positive, but if you multiply a positive and a negative it will be negative;

+ * + = +

+ * - = -

- * -  = +

I hope this helps!

-3x+7<11

-3x<4

x>-4/3

So anything less than or equal to -4/3 does not belong to the solution set.

With your update:

"<span>The options is 4,-1,-5,and 0"

-5 does not belong to the solution set...</span>

Use your SOH CAH TOA functions to find the missing legs. Do Sin(53.1) and that is equal to opposite (PU) over hypotenuse (UG) so to solve for the PU leg just set up an equation that says sin(53.1)=PU/36 so then you can just multiply the 36 over and that gives you the leg. To find PG do adjacent over hypotenuse so Cosine, cos(53.1)=PG/36 and again just multiply over the 36 and that gives you PG
